Integrity and Ethics

McAfee Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Uncompromising integrity and professionalism are the cornerstones of McAfee’s business. In all that we do, McAfee supports and upholds a set of core values and principles. These values and principles form the foundation of good corporate citizenship and frame McAfee’s relationships with customers, shareholders, employees, suppliers, and local communities. Through our adherence to ethical business practices, and through timely, accurate, and consistent financial reporting, we continually enhance our value and maintain industry leadership in all aspects of corporate governance.

Our success is dependent on the willingness of each individual to act in accordance with these enduring values and principles. We must remember that misconduct by only a few can seriously discredit McAfee, harm our reputation, and reflects poorly on all of us. No success is worth the expense of compromising ethical behavior.

Our Code of Conduct sets the standard for how we work together to develop and deliver product, how we protect the value of McAfee and its subsidiaries and how we work with customers, suppliers, and others.

The Code affirms our Five Principles of Conduct:

Conduct business with honesty and integrity

Follow the letter and spirit of the law

Treat each other fairly

Act in the best interests of McAfee and avoid conflicts of interest

Protect the company’s assets and reputation

The McAfee Ethics and Compliance Office promotes these five principles and assists our employees in making ethical decisions. This office offers a 24 hour, 7 day a week helpline for employees, customers, distributors, resellers, and suppliers to ask questions, request guidance, or report a concern.

Values

Expertise: We have a deep mastery of digital security and we never stop building and improving our expertise.

Partnership: We have a true sense of teamwork and partnership across McAfee functions and with channel partners and customers, developing collaborative solutions that offer tangible benefits.

Integrity: We’re in the business of protecting data from the unscrupulous, performing to the highest standards of ethics and responsibility.

Results: We have definitive goals with definitive outcomes, always striving for higher performance and never losing focus.

Courage: Being always ready is a requirement for courageous leadership across our business. We’re never intimidated by the audacious challenges we face every day.

The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), which prohibits offering a bribe, directly or indirectly, to a non-U.S. government official or a family member of a non-U.S. government official in order to obtain or retain business or to otherwise secure an improper advantage over a competitor.

The U.K. Bribery Act, which creates four offenses: giving, promising, or offering a bribe; requesting, agreeing to receive, or accepting a bribe; bribing a foreign public official; and corporate failure to prevent bribery.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions.

Anti-Corruption TrainingMcAfee employees with significant involvement in sales transactions and/or maintaining accurate books and records, as well as designated third parties, are required to take McAfee’s online anti-corruption training course on a periodic basis.

These features have been approved for export from the United States, subject to certain requirements and limitations. You may find the information on this page useful for determining exportability to particular countries or parties, and for completing export or shipping documentation, recordkeeping, or post-shipment reporting.

Although we provide the information on this page, you remain responsible for exporting or re-exporting McAfee software in accordance with U.S. law. We encourage you to seek appropriate legal advice and/or consult the EAR and the BIS Information Technology Controls Division before exporting, re-exporting, or distributing McAfee software and hardware. The information provided here is subject to change without notice.

The following information on definitions is based on U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR). For more information on the EAR, visit the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) website or contact its offices directly at one of the telephone numbers listed below:

Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria are embargoed destinations.

U.S. Prohibited and/or Restricted Lists

McAfee products may not be sold, exported, or re-exported to any person or entity designated as prohibited or restricted by an agency of the U.S. government. Exports to companies, organizations, or persons listed on the Specially Designated Nationals List, the Debarred List, the Entity List, and other governmental lists are prohibited. Please review the prohibited U.S. government lists.

Enhanced Proliferation Control Initiative

McAfee products may not be used directly or indirectly in the design, development, fabrication, or use of nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons or missile technology without U.S. government authorization.

Commodity Classification Automated Tracking System (CCATS)

The BIS uses the Commodity Classification Automated Tracking System (CCATS) to assign code numbers to products it has classified against the Commerce Control List (CCL). The CCL contains items subject to BIS export license requirements. McAfee lists CCATS numbers on our product matrix.

Deemed Export

A deemed export is any release of technology or source code, subject to the EAR, to a foreign national within the United States. Such a release is deemed to be an export to the home country or countries of the foreign national. This deemed export rule does not apply to persons lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States or to persons who are protected individuals under the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1324b(a)(3). Additional information on deemed exports can be found on the BIS website.

Technology or software is released for export through:

Visual inspection by foreign nationals of U.S.-origin equipment and facilities

Oral exchanges of information in the United States or abroad

The application to situations abroad of personal knowledge or technical experience acquired in the United States

Delivery of McAfee cryptographic products does not imply third-party authority to import, distribute, or use restricted and non-restricted encryption.

Importers, distributors, customers, and users are responsible for compliance with U.S. and local country export laws and regulations. McAfee strongly recommends that importers, distributors, and users investigate such regulations before deploying encryption products. McAfee encourages customers to contact their local freight forwarder, consultant, or attorney with knowledge of international export requirements.

Export Control Classification Number (ECCN)

An Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) is assigned to a product by the BIS. An ECCN is an alphanumeric classification used in the EAR under the Commerce Control List (CCL) to identify items for export control purposes.
